Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyEffect of validated skills simulation on operating room performance in obstetrics and gynecology residents: a randomized controlled trial.
To estimate whether training on previously validated laparoscopic skill stations translates into improved technical performance in the operating room. ⋯ We found that proficiency-based simulation offers additional benefit to traditional education for all levels of residents. The use of easily accessible, low-fidelity tasks should be incorporated into formal laparoscopic training.

Multicenter StudyOptimum timing for planned delivery of uncomplicated monochorionic and dichorionic twin pregnancies.
To determine the optimum timing for planned delivery of uncomplicated monochorionic and dichorionic twin pregnancies. ⋯ Applying a strategy of close fetal surveillance, perinatal morbidity can be minimized by allowing uncomplicated monochorionic pregnancies continue to 37 weeks of gestation and dichorionic twins to 38 weeks. Among monochorionic twins, this approach must be balanced against a 1.5% risk of late in utero death.

Multicenter StudyProstaglandin E2 analogue sulprostone for treatment of atonic postpartum hemorrhage.
Use of prostaglandins, including sulprostone (an E2 analog), is recommended for second-line uterotonic treatment of atonic postpartum hemorrhage and might be considered as an indicator of quality of care in severe atonic postpartum hemorrhage management. Our objective was to estimate whether sulprostone was appropriately used and how it was tolerated in women with atonic postpartum hemorrhage. ⋯ : III.
